Transcript: Hi everyone, this is Jenny with a short message. We just wanted to let you know that Fandom and Wellness will be going on hiatus. There's a lot going on for us personally and of course in the world in general so we wanted to take a short break from the podcast. I don't know when we'll be back, but we'll be back. We love you and remember, be kind and take no shit. Bye!
